From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The two Britons who were among 160 crew and passengers killed in China's worst air disaster on Monday were named as Peter Bailey, 26, and Ian Williams, in his late twenties, both of Bulwell, Nottingham. They were on a trip to the terracotta army at Xian, north China, before Mr Bailey joined his wife in Hong Kong.
The flight recorder of China Northwest's Russian-built Tupolev-154, which crashed shortly after take-off from Xian, was being examined.
